010. The loss of loved ones

Disclaimer: This chapter talks about deep things such as suicide, and death.

"OUR PEOPLE GO OVER THERE!",hearing Glenn screaming was enough to wake me up. Who the hell am I on? "Hey Mads" I heard Blake say in a groggy voice, he must have just woken up too. I quickly realized I was laying in Blake's lap, immediately I sit up and give him a soft smile followed by "Hey Dixon.."

As I look around camp, I remember the horror that happened the night before. I can feel the tears slowly coming down my face. Blake realized quickly that I was crying and pulling into his chest. "It's okay Mads. I'm here. I'm right here"

Blake's words made my heart skip a beat. I always knew that Glenn was always here for me but he was close to these people as well, Blake barely knew anyone at camp. It was easier for him to ignore everyone else's sadness, but he clearly couldn't ignore mine.

"Hey Honey.." Lori said sitting beside Blake and I. I expected Blake to take his arm off of my shoulder but he didn't. She looked exhausted, "Lori, go lay down for a while. We can watch Carl." I said grabbing her hand. She squeezed my hand and replied saying "Thank you sweetie, and thank you Blake. I love you, please be safe with my babies." "Yes ma'am, I'll make sure to keep an extra good eye on this girl" Blake said with a grin on his face.

Blake and I let Lori go sleep while we took Carl to go catch frogs. "I can't get it out of my brain" I confessed to Blake, "Amy's screams are going haunt me forever." He took his hand in mine as we walked and said "I know Mads, but all we can do now is focus on surviving. For Amy."

"For Amy" I whispered as I watched the 12 year old ahead of us skip down the path. "I wish I could be Carls age again and not have to worry about anything." I told Blake. His grin quickly faded before saying, "At his age was when my mother fully stopped speaking to me..4 years before that is whenever my father started beating me. 2 years before she left is whenever I tried to end my life. So I don't miss it." He quickly sped up to reach the young boy.

I was speechless. I couldn't imagine what he had gone through. My heart ached for Blake. If he was abused...were Daryl and Merle?!

"Hey Sweet Pea" My older brother said pulling me into a hug. "Where's Glenn?" I mumbled into his shirt. As he pulled me away, he pointed to my tent saying "He hasn't left it since we put our people to rest." I sighed, then gave Shane a kiss on the cheek and walked off to my tent.

Before going in, I heard soft snoring coming from inside. Oh, he's asleep. I was unfortunately correct. I didn't want to bother him so I left and went to find Rick. "Glenn saw us last night." Blake said as I stepped out of the tent. A worried look rushed upon my face, "Like us talking or sleeping?!" "You sleeping on me. His eyes were glued onto us." He said in a stern voice. Tears immediately filled my eyes.

What if this ruins everything. I love Glenn. What if I lose him. "Get out of your head Mads. He really likes you." Blake said approaching me quickly seeing the tears stream down my face. "Trust me Madison. He does. It's annoying." I smiled at his comment, pulling him into a hug.

"Wow so you just hug every guy you see now huh?"
